If you've ever felt like you’re balancing identities, expectations, and your own path, welcome to *The Greater Conversation*.
Hi! I’m Alya Mooro—an Egyptian-born, London-raised writer, author, and storyteller. This is a space for the introspective, the questioners, and the boundary-pushers—those navigating the complexities of identity, culture, and self-discovery.
I began my career as a journalist covering music, technology, and identity for *Grazia*, *MTV*, and others. But as I explored my own story, I began asking what it really means to live authentically, beyond expectations. My 2019 book, *The Greater Freedom*, dove deeply into these themes, and this newsletter is a space where I continue sharing that journey. Here, you’ll find reflections on what it means to seek freedom in a complex world, alongside insights and stories that inspire me along the way.
I've always believed it’s easier to explore, grow, and question when we know others are on similar paths. *The Greater Conversation* is a place to find that reassurance, to reflect on identity and the courage it takes to be oneself, and to find community in the shared pursuit of something greater.
**What to Expect:**
- Honest, thought-provoking reflections on identity, culture, and personal growth
- Behind-the-scenes glimpses into my creative process in books, TV, and storytelling
- Inspiration from the books, shows, and people shaping my journey
- An invitation to join a community of curious minds who value connection, reflection, and meaningful conversations
Subscribers often say that *The Greater Conversation* helps them feel seen and connected, and I hope this space can offer that same reassurance and courage to you. By subscribing, you’re joining a growing community of people seeking, questioning, and finding their own way—and for those who want even more, becoming a paying subscriber unlocks exclusive insights and supports the work I do.
Thank you for being here, and welcome to *The Greater Conversation*—let’s grow, question, and find meaning together.
